This article is not lying... Avs are a completely different team when he is on the ice
They are a completely different team and with Landy back we are in for a hell of a R1. Especially with Dallas having such significant injuries. Let's hope Val stays good and produces like he always does!
Landy is a huge emotional boost. Looked RUSTY in that eagles game they streamed. Heck i will take any boost for the run
If Val has his daemons in check and Landy can come back and be a contributor, even on bottom six…and team stays healthy, I like the team’s chances to win Lord Stanley again. First round against Dallas could be epic. Let’s go Avs!
